Title: Pink Floyd - Vegetable Man (Syd Barrett)

Description:
This is my last Pink Floyd music video, and once again I've used another unreleased track intended for the second Pink Floyd album, 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'. 'Vegetable Man' was written by Syd Barrett in 1967 and recorded around the same time as 'Jugband Blues'. Barrett who had been the leading force behind the band since the mid 60's, now became unstable due to the pressures of touring, countless TV appearances and studio recordings. Things continued to get worse as Barrett took large quantities of LSD which made him completely non-functional, this worried the band as he was the main composer.As time moved on, the pressure increased on Barrett to write material for the new album, while he continued to write, most songs were rejected by the band (some of these songs would eventually turn up on Barrett's first solo album, 'The Madcap Laughs'), but they attempted a few of his new compositions. These songs included, 'Vegetable Man, Scream Thy Last Scream, In The Beechwoods, She's A Millionaire and Have You Got It Yet?'Barrett became even more erratic when attempting to record, 'Have You Got It Yet?', where he would constantly change the structure of the song, which annoyed the band who didn't understand Barrett's idiosyncratic sense of humour, thus the title of song. This was Barrett's last straw, he could not continue on touring or appearing with the band, while negotiations were made for him to write and record only, Barrett was too deeply effected by excessive drug abuse, so he was let go from the band.The footage was ultilized from two sources, 'Arnold Layne - Alternate Promo, 1967' and 'Syd Barrett: Crazy Diamond - BBC One, 2001'.I do not own the copyright for the audio or vision. This is a fan edit done under the 'fair use' provision laws.

Nov 14, 2010 - Great compilation. I hope he firm doesn't mind you showing their stuff. Personally I think they had their shot at cashing in on their old work. They should be posting it themselves (...David...Roger...Nick...?) and reminisce with their fans.

Dec 7, 2010 - Hey, great video! Where did you get such a good recording of VEGETABLE MAN? My bootleg coyp doesn't sound nearly as good. This song and SCREAM THY LAST SCREAM are better than anything on SAUCERFULL OF SECRETS. Such a shame. 'SCREAM' has a part that reminds me of SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN.

Jan 1, 2011 - This track definately describes the desomposing of his mental state. But the scary part of this is that this track is seriously genious! Syd Was a great artist.

Jan 5, 2011 - I listened to this song about 3 times and came to the conclusion it was the biggest piece of shit i've ever listened to. But then, I just clicked and I don't think it can be explained why but its one of the best fucking songs I've ever heard.

musicartism Says:
Jan 11, 2011 - I think the lyrics on their own are quite 'depressing', but the music is exciting and the sound effects upliftingly humorous and makes a mockery of the 'depressing' lyrics. It is quite 'mad', but in a good sense of the word - I like it, in the same way I liked the humour in the film 'Pulp Fiction' even though it was quite gory and violent film. Maybe, I am mad, I don't know, but I like it.
KingKook Says:
Jan 22, 2011 - Just read the above comments from Verruckt89, where he states he knows he used existing footage to make "his" video, but "how (he) re-edited the video" makes it "entirely (his) work." No-talent copy cat thieves deluding themselves that they are creating art, that's what our culture has sunk to. I'm also referring to hip hop and rap producers that don't think sampling is a crime artistically. Born and bred thieves declaring that black is white, and might is right. The end is soooo near.
